Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To assess equivalence in the rates of functional graft survival at 12 months after transplantation in patients receiving induction therapy with cyclosporin (CsA, Neoral) and Rapamune® followed by CsA dose reduction and concentration-controlled Rapamune® versus induction with CsA and Rapamune® followed by discontinuation of CsA and concentration-controlled Rapamune®.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age: = to ≥ 18 years.
* End-stage renal disease, with patients scheduled to receive a primary or secondary renal allograft from a cadaveric donor, from a living-unrelated donor, or from a living-related donor.
* Patients with second and subsequent transplants must have maintained their primary graft for at least 6 months after transplantation (with the exception of graft failure due to technical reasons).

Exclusion Criteria

* Evidence of active systemic or localised major infection prior to initial Rapamune® administration.
* Evidence of infiltrate, cavitation, or consolidation on chest x-ray obtained during screening.
* Use of any investigational drug or treatment up to 4 weeks prior to enrolling in the study and during the 12-month treatment phase. Exception: the use of erythropoiesis stimulating products. In these cases, erythrocyte-stimulating products must be discontinued prior to administration of Rapamune®.
